Okay, so having thought about this some more, maybe I am taking this line and the "so we don't end up with a lot of future doctors who haven't read a novel since they finished GCSE English" some more, I guess I may be overreacting. It still plays into an overall trend which I am extremely uncomfortable with, namely that us "science-minded people" are always bad at being social and need to be educated about the Humanities to be well-rounded, with very little pressure given in the other direction.
For what's it worth, I know lots of doctors and scientists and they have all read books since finishing high school.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
